Sōl Stories: Student Photography Showcase on Sneakers and their Stories

Purdue University, as a vibrant, beautiful sneaker community, dances, laughs, and thrives in sneakers Zach Edey gets buckets in sneakers. Scores of you go to bars and parties in sneakers. Some of you collect them, and some of us teach while wearing them. This campus has many Sōl Stories, including your own. The point of this exhibition is to share some of those stories. These six student photographers have rendered and imagined their own Sōl Stories for you to witness and experience. There are stories of family and tradition, tales of intergalactic wonder, emotional narratives, and stirring fables about nature. You will see artists honoring memory as well as imagining nostalgia and fantasy through Purdue car culture. Mostly, though, as you from image to image and series to series, you will see the work of talented student artists who care deeply about their craft and Purdue.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/192780/1/Wall_title2436.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/192780/2/Sol Stories Poster (1).pngc4321027-eaa6-44f5-a298-a6880ec181d5Description of Wall_title2436.pdf : Event PosterDescription of Sol Stories Poster (1).png : Event PosterSEL
